Integrative Methods in Perceptual Science (IMPS)meets on Thursdays Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 to continue with the 6 projects.

This will be a hands-on course on human movement and movement coordination in real-world 3D situations. It will cover the basics of movement kinematics, graphing of three dimensional movement data using Matlab, aspects of the rotation group used to parameterize angular rotations of the multiple joints of the body, and movement coordination patterns.

The class will alternate lectures with sessions of actual data recordings and analysis to address some experimental hypothesis about movement control in some experimental context to be determined by the class.

Everything will be learned and implemented in class, including various statistical analysis of multivariate data. The aim is to write a paper and culminate the class with the submission of a manuscript reporting the methods and results from the class for each of the proposed projects.
